Because of their physical characteristics, they are often referred to as incoming paper displays. [Prior Art] One of the reflective features at a low-level light level display requires a front light to illuminate the display. Conventional reflective displays, such as LCDs, require the illumination light to reach the display surface at an angle close to the display surface. Since the light source cannot be placed directly on the surface, it must be positioned to the side of the display. Therefore, a transparent light guide plate has been developed to position the light guide plate on the surface of the display (front) and light the light. Boot and redirect on the display. In order to obtain a good light distribution and direction, the light guide plate already has a microstructure, such as a sawtooth microstructure at its front surface. These microstructures must be of high quality, and the introduction of a highly diffusive reflective display for its manufacture relaxes the requirements for the front light guide plate because it allows the illumination light to reach the display surface at a large angle The display surface. This advantage has triggered the development of simple wedge-shaped light guides that are easy to manufacture. EP 1 220 015 shows such a wedge-shaped light guide plate, although for a reflective LCD, it has an additional reflector plate embedded in the display in order to simulate a more diffuse reflection feature, this feature makes it known It is possible to use a moulded light guide. However, these wedge-shaped light guide plates have some disadvantages. First, when a large display is required or a large mode: angle is required, such light guide plates will become thicker and heavier at the end facing the light source. .doc M265634 Unwanted Degree. In addition to thickness and weight issues, integration of the front light with other parts is prevented. Further—in the use of—a simple wedge can not adjust the uniformity of the illumination. [New content] The purpose of this creation is to provide a diffuse reflection display device that eliminates the shortcomings of light previously described above and provides a substantially uniform thickness and outgassing, quality requirements, and adjustable lighting The average sentence is combined with one light. This object is achieved by a display device such as the first item in the scope of patent application. 2 According to one aspect of this creation, a display device is provided, including:-a diffuse reflection display panel; _ front light, which includes a light guide plate 乂 and is disposed at the-end of the light guide plate and emitted through the first- Into the X guide, one of the light sources of the board; and a transparent intermediate layer, which is arranged between a front surface of the display panel and a rear surface of the light guide panel so that the display panel and the light guide panel Optical contact. The rear surface of the light guide plate has a microstructure including a wedge-shaped facet. The configuration of the wedge-shaped facets is such that, for each wedge-shaped facet, the -th edge of the wedge-shaped facet and the front surface of the display panel The distance is shorter than the distance between a second edge of one of the wedge-shaped facets and the front surface of the "Bebe State Panel", wherein the first edge is positioned closer to the light source than the second edge. "Pre-contact" is well known to those skilled in the art and is defined as the physical contact between different transparent materials, which causes Newton's%, zero-stripe or dark streaks. This occurs when there are sufficiently small differences in the refractive indices of these different materials. "Wedge-shaped facet" means that the light guide plate is inclined to the center plane of 92979.doc M265634 so that a part of the facet defining the light guide plate can be regarded as a wedge-facet. This will be exemplified thoroughly below. By forming a microstructure including a wedge-shaped facet on the surface or bottom of the light guide plate and optically connecting the microstructure to the display panel through the intermediate transparent layer, the light diffusion characteristics of the diffuse reflection display are advantageously used. Further, the optical quality of the microstructure need not be as high as when the microstructure is provided on the front or top of the light guide plate. In addition, the light guide plate as a whole need not be wedge-shaped, thereby eliminating the problem of the large-sized display described above. However, within the scope of this creation, if necessary, the front surface of the light guide plate and the front surface of the display panel can be made non-parallel. Another advantage of the display device of this creation is that the microstructure is not exposed to the surrounding environment. If it is exposed to the surrounding environment, the top portion will be easily affected by dust particles, smears, scratches, and the like. Further, the optical contact between the display and the ridge structure of the light guide plate reduces light scattering due to possible sharp edges, scratches, or other irregularities. Therefore, the optical contact results in a better overall display performance. In EP 1 220 015, a specific embodiment of a light guide plate having a toothed pattern on the rear surface of the light guide plate is indeed shown. However, this prior technical document is basically about LCD, and specifically about a modified change of _ Lcd (as mentioned above), which does not imply a combination of a simple structure and a diffuse reflection display. According to a specific embodiment of the display device, between the first end and a second end of the light guide plate (the second end is opposite to the first end), the wedges are continuously arranged along the rear surface of the light guide plate. Faceted. According to this specific implementation 92979.doc M265634 = conducive to _junju lighting-way to configure these wedge facets. Lai = a specific embodiment of the display device device, by-connecting the surface of the r :: shaped facet, the connecting surface and the display panel's side: "continue $ thousand. In other words, each connecting surface is far from the -wedge facet: the edge extends to the -edge of the -continuous wedge facet. Because the = surfaces are combined rather than parallel to the wedge facet orientations, there is no such surface. Therefore, only the wedge-shaped facets are used to perform the light direction conversion σ. Therefore, the finishing of such connecting surfaces will not even matter. Let's put it in a specific embodiment, by connecting the surface with adjacent wedge-shaped facets, the connecting surface is formed by a first portion parallel to the display surface, the rain surface, and the surface of the display panel. Bookmarking-Part 2 Group &. In this specific embodiment, = flat knife, the wedge-shaped facets are more distinguished from each other to a certain extent, and the distance between the wedge-shaped facets cannot be easily tuned in order to further improve the uniformity of the illumination. . = A specific embodiment of the display device, the at least one profiled facet varies with the distance of the first end of a child. This provides a further possibility for tuning the lighting. Two: According to a specific embodiment of the display device, the at least one wedge-shaped facet characteristic is selected from a wedge-shaped group consisting of a wedge-shaped angle, a distance between successive connection surfaces, and the wedge-shaped distance. In this specific example, the 'right-drying feature' may be used to refine the display on the display panel. For example, this specific embodiment has the ability to use the wedge-shaped engravings by changing these characteristics One of the faces is appropriately positioned and shaped 92979.doc M265634 to obtain the outward_synthetic-gradient. In a specific embodiment of the device, the at least one wedge-shaped facet feature 14 increases from the first end toward the second end. This specific embodiment defines one way to change the (etc.) characteristic. According to a specific embodiment of the display device, one of the end surfaces of the first end includes a non-vertical first notch of one front surface of the light board, or the end surface also includes one of the first notches adjacent to the first facet. Two facets, wherein the first and first facets form a v-shaped groove extending along the end surface. In these specific embodiments, the light population of the light guide plate is modified. Therefore, the specific embodiments provide an improvement for inward coupling of light into the light guide plate, and the improvement aims to facilitate uniform illumination. According to a specific embodiment of the display device, the intermediate layer is an adhesive. Since the adhesive is easy to manufacture and because the adhesive easily fills the cavity obtained by the microstructure in the light guide plate, it is advantageous to apply an adhesive between the light guide plate and the display panel in order to obtain the intermediate layer. . According to a specific embodiment of the display device, it further comprises a touch screen and a bright intermediate layer, and the second transparent intermediate layer is disposed between the touch screen and a front surface of the light guide plate so that the The touch screen optically contacts the light guide plate. This specific embodiment extends the creative concept for the basic display structure to a touch screen, that is, an active display, where input will be made on the display. This caused a significant improvement over the previous technology's touch screen contrast and other features. According to a specific embodiment of the display device, the second transparent intermediate layer has a refractive index lower than that of the first transparent intermediate layer. , 92979.doc -10- M265634 The relationship between the ranking and the refractive index of the first-middle layer prevents light vapor from the light source from leaking into the touch screen, and the light is only directed toward the display panel and outwards I horse together. [Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows a display device 10 of the prior art. It includes a display panel 11 and a front light composed of a light source 12 and a light guide plate 13. The display panel is a diffusive reflection type, and this type of display panel is described by reflected light extending over a large viewing angle. The light guide plate 13 is wedge-shaped so that the front surface 16 of the light guide plate is non-parallel to or inclined toward the rear surface 17 of one of the light guide plates. The rear surface faces the display panel. The light source is positioned at a first thicker end 14 of the light guide plate 13, and the thickness of the light guide plate 13 decreases as the distance from the light source increases until the first thinner end 15 of the light guide plate 13 ( It is opposite the first end 14). The light emitted from the light source enters the light guide plate 13 through the first end 14 and propagates along the light guide plate, as illustrated by the light in Fig. I. During the propagation, the light is alternately reflected by the front surface 16 and the rear surface 17 of the light guide plate 13. Due to the inclined front surface 16, for each reflection made by the front surface 16, the incident angle of the light toward the rear surface 17 increases. Finally, the incident angle exceeds an upper limit of total reflection, and the light or at least a part thereof is coupled out through the rear surface 17 and hits the display panel. The display panel 丨 丨 reflects the light in a relative distribution or expansion manner through the light guide plate and reflects it out into the surrounding air where an observer is. In the diagram, a schematic eye 18 To represent the observer. The interface (a thin intermediate layer) between the display panel 11 and the light guide plate 13 is air, which affects the outcoupling angle of 92979.doc -11-M265634 in an undesired manner. In the display according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, the second embodiment of the second embodiment is a person. The benefit panel 21 and the light guide plate 23 are joined by an adhesive layer 29. The light guide plate 23 has a rear surface which has a microstructure of a wedge-shaped facet 28. The microstructure is explained further below. The interlayer 29 provides optical contact between the light plate 2 and the wedges 28) and the display panel 21. The adhesive 29 is preferably a liquid glue, which is easy and uniform to fill the The cavity of the microstructure does not leave any air trapped between the intermediate layer 29 and the rear surface 27 of the light guide plate 23. The light guide plate 23 has a general square shape, in which the front surface 26 of the guide plate 23 and the display panel. The front surface is parallel, and the geometric basic plane used for the rear surface 27 of the light guide plate 23 is also parallel to the front surface of the display panel 21, although in this embodiment, due to the wedge-shaped facets 28, A few surface portions of the rear surface 27 that lie in this plane in fact. The refractive index of the intermediate layer 29 should be lower than the refractive index of the material board. The refractive index of the intermediate layer 29 can be adjusted so as to promote uniform illumination, and generally, this will cause a refractive index substantially lower than the refractive index of the light guide plate 23. Therefore, this intermediate layer 29 is also referred to as a low refractive index layer. As shown in FIG. 2, an exemplary light introduced into the light guide plate 23 from the light source 22 at the first end 24 of the light guide plate is propagated through the light guide plate 23 and reflected. The wedge-shaped facet 28 at the rear surface 27 of the light guide plate 23 is inclined toward the first end. Because of the wedge-shaped facets 28, for each reflection facing away from a wedge-shaped facet 28, the incident angle toward the wedge-shaped facet 28 increases until the light exceeds the full reflection angle of 92979.doc -12-M265634. -In Fig. 3 'further put one of the parts of the light guide plate shown in Fig. 2-a large side view to show the microstructure. The wedge-shaped facets 34a, 34b, and 34c are arranged in series (i.e., continuously) between the first end 24 and the second end 25 of the light guide plate 23. Each wedge-shaped facet 34a to c is inclined such that a first end 35a to c of the facet 34a to c closest to the light source is located farther from the front than a first 钿 36a to b of the facet 34a to c. Surface% at a greater distance. Therefore, in a partial area of the light guide plate 23, the facets 34a to e provide a wedge-shaped facet to the 'light plate 23'. , Two adjacent wedge-shaped facets 34 & and 341) / 341) and 34 (; are connected by a connecting surface 37a to b, which is non-parallel to the front panel 26 of the display panel and to the guide One end surface 32 of the first end of the light plate 23 is not parallel. The end surface 32 is further perpendicular to the front surface%. Therefore, each second end 36 of a wedge-shaped facet 34aSc Similar to the connection surface, it is connected to one of the continuous wedge-shaped facets 34 to 0 adjacent to the first ends 35a to c. In this particular embodiment, the connection surfaces 37a to b are almost perpendicular to the wedge facets 34a to c, although they form a -pure angle 'with the wedge facets-to c. It is obvious from FIG. 3 that 'this action causes these connecting surfaces 3 and even b not to be included in the outward direction of the light'. Therefore, its shape and surface finishing are not important. Column h, which does not have to be flat and may be convex or concave. (If the shape facilitates the fabrication of the microstructure or enhances some characteristics of the microstructure). 1. FIG. 4 shows a specific embodiment of Dai-Xindi, one of the display devices. In this embodiment, the microstructure is different. More specifically, the wedge-shaped facets 48 at the rear surface of the light guide plate 43 are further mixed with each other. Female two adjacent wedges 92979.doc -13 · M265634 faceted facets 4 8 are connected by a distant drawing, when the surface is connected, and the connecting surface is formed by a different surface from the display panel 41 Non-flat and parallel. A part 44 of the brother who returns to the non-decade and a second part 45 that is parallel to the surface of the face of the display wave set 41. More specifically, in this specific implementation, for each connection surface, the fresh portion 44 is perpendicular to the front surface 46 of the light guide plate 43 and extends downward from the second end 48b of the front-wedge cut to the light guide plate 43. Geometric plane of the rear surface 47. The second portion 45 extends from the first portion 44 to the first end 48a of the continuous mold facet 48 in the geometric plane. The extensions of the second part ㈣ are about the same as the extensions of the building facets 48. Since the light source must be positioned at the end of the light guide plate, it is difficult to obtain uniform illumination of one of the display panels. According to this creation, the microstructure can be adjusted in a way to compensate for the different characteristics of the wedge-shaped facet installed on the side of the light source. The material quality can be adjusted according to the position of the individual wedge-cut surface and the wire. -The main factor is the distance from the individual wedge-shaped facet to the light source ', especially the distance measured in the direction of propagation of the light. The wedge facet characteristics of particular interest are the wedge angle, the wedge length, the distance between two consecutive connecting surfaces, and the wedge spacing. The wedge-shaped angle represents the inclination angle of the wedge-shaped facet relative to the geometric plane of the rear surface of the light guide plate, as indicated by a in FIG. 3. The wedge opening name M_spacing represents the vertical distance from the geometric plane to the second end of the wedge facet. According to the specific embodiments of the display device shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the basic parts, namely the light source 52/62, the light guide plate 53/63, the intermediate layer 59/69, and the display panel 51/61, Similar to the basic parts of the first specific embodiment, and the wedge angle increases with the distance from the light source 52 / 6292979.doc > 14. M265634 plus. In one third specific embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the microstructure is substantially equal to the microstructure of the first specific embodiment. However, when the angle of the profile is: Because the length of each wedge-shaped facet 58 is the same as the distance between the wedge-shaped facet% and the second ends 58a, 58b, the wedge-shaped distance also increases, And the size of these connecting surfaces 59 also increases. Further, the length between the two connection surfaces decreases with the distance from the light source 52. The inclination of these connecting surfaces 59 does not change. In one of the fourth specific examples shown in FIG. 6, the microstructure is basically similar to the microstructure of the second specific embodiment. Just now? The content of the third embodiment is also applicable to the fourth: specific embodiment. However, the variable dimensions of all the third phase dimensions W when the geometric plane of the surface behind the light guide plate is extended are limited to the variation of its -part 64. Of course, more than 4 ^ other characteristics adjustment combinations also cause the lighting or one of the other parameters to be improved. FIG. 7 shows a fifth embodiment of a display device of the present invention. This member has two bodies; ^ example includes a display panel 7 丨, including a light source and a front light of a light guide plate 73, the light guide plate is optically connected to the first intermediate layer 74 of the display panel 71, a touch The screen 75, and the touch screen 75 optically connected to the light guide plate is a second intermediate layer%. By selecting the refractive index of the first intermediate layer 76, the light guide plate 73, and the first intermediate layer%, the light will only be directed on the display panel side and not on the touch screen side. Xuanbei light out-coupling. If the refractive indices of the first intermediate layer 74, the second intermediate layer 76, and the V-plate 73 are ~, n2, and n3, respectively, the mutual relationship should be η2 < ηι < η3. Therefore, the second intermediate layer% should have the lowest fold. 92979.doc -15- M265634 The second light guide plate 73 should have the highest refractive index. Preferably, the refractive index of the first intermediate layer should be significantly higher than the refractive index of the second intermediate layer 76. For example, m is selected as the refractive index of the light guide plate and the second intermediate layer. -The intermediate layers 74 and 76 are preferably adhesives, such as UV-curable acrylic or heat-curable epoxy. In order to further improve the lighting characteristics, in one of the sixth item shown in FIG. 8 and the actuality is “—the first end surface 84 of the V front plate 83, that is, the light end surface of the light source 82. In other words, 'At least a part of the first-end surface 84: tilted so that it is not parallel to the opposite second end surface 85. Therefore, the front surface 86 of the two-knife / 忒 light guide plate 83 is not perpendicular. According to this sixth In a specific embodiment, there is a first or upper facet 84a and a second or lower facet 84b adjacent to one of the first facets 84a. The first and second facets 8 仏, b form a high beam entrance A v-shaped groove extending from the end surface 84 (that is, parallel to the central axis of the light source 82). The first and second facets 84a, 84b are approximately the same size, so that the bottom of the sub-groove is approximately located on the light guide plate. 83 before and between the rear surfaces 86 and 87. According to the seven specific embodiments, as shown in FIG.
